How to Get a Good Night Sleep
Choosing the Best Mattress
Introduction:
I recently
purchased a new bed and mattress as I seemed to be
getting a poor night sleep. The old mattress was
thirty five years old and seemed to be in good
condition. Little did I realize that the old
mattress had long lost the comfort to get a restful
night’s sleep.
A good night's rest
is a priceless pleasure. Choosing the right
mattress can make a difference in your nightly rest
and can be purchased for a reasonable price.
For anyone
who is fed up with being restless, getting out of
bed throughout the night, or even stumbling out of
bed each morning stiff, painful, and tired, your
current mattress could be the issue. Comfort is the
primary factor in obtaining good rest, and sleeping
on a good mattress is just about the most effective
way to guarantee an improved night’s sleep.
To start with, figure out the reason why your
current mattress is no longer comfortable. It may
be too soft or sagging from age. If it is, take
immediate action to replace it and start resting
better as well as getting out of bed refreshed. The
average mattress should be replaced approximately
every 10 years.
The body adjusts as we grow older and so do
mattress requirements need to adjust to support our
body changes. The older you are the more additional
support you need and a worn out mattress does not
provide the correct support.
If you're concerned that a firm or extra firm
mattress might be too hard consider one that has a
pillow top or some other cushioning on top of the
mattress. A cushion top will provide softness
you'll need for comfort without getting a mattress
that's too soft to provide the support you need.
There are many kinds of mattresses available that
provide excellent support such as the open coil,
the vacuum packed and the memory foam mattress.
The best way to select one is to visit a furniture
store and lay down on the mattress that you are
considering. Don't be inhibited, that's why
showrooms exist. There isn't any better method to
determine if a mattress is comfortable other than
laying down on it. Lie in different positions; on
your back, your stomach, and your side. You will
immediately recognize the difference between your
mattress and a new mattress.
Take your time and
get in your normal resting position and remain in
that position for at least ten minutes to determine
the comfort of the mattress. Remember that the best
mattress is one that you are comfortable on.
Most modern mattresses do not have coiled springs.
They are made of high density foam that provides
excellent comfort and durability. Modern mattresses
that do contain springs are of a different design
than the older spring mattresses. The springs are
in individual pockets deep within the mattress and
covered with several inches of high density foam
quilting. Modern design mattresses provide the
maximum in comfort and durability however they are
not inexpensive.
The price of a good quality modern mattress will
run between $1200 and $2,000 and up, depending on
the size. They are well worth the price as
a good mattress can make a difference in getting a
restful night sleep and allow you to wake up
refreshed.
